Ive just found a site well a few actually for where we are jools and you have to spend minimum of £50 to get money back! some give up to £30 back when you send them childs birth cirtificate and nappy recipts etc and the other site -- say you spend £100 they give you £50 back and so o, that one doesnt sound as good but go to lincolnshire county council site that seems best
Very Happy

Our council did a free starter kit,they send you £100 pounds worth of stuff to get you started and if you continue using 'real' nappies they send you £30 every 4 months or so as your saving on refuse etc.... If you call your local county council office they should be able to tell you all the incentives they run. Only down side is you dont get to choose a brand you get what you get .

Donna my council is the same they do bugger all! It may be worth a try writing to them / emailing / ringing them to suggest they may like to start offering incentives. I did this months ago and just got told they would bare it in mind. But its worth mentioning and giving them the details for http://www.realnappycampaign.com/

It does my head in because i live in Dewsbury and i have a wakefield postcode and a wakefield phone number. Yet i dont reside in wakefield council or i'd get incentives! Instead i am classed as kirkless council Mad

Girls you should push them on it! email, write, ring asking about when it will change. Get your friends to do it or even maybe get media on your side- i'm sure you have local newspapers or radio stations- pple will do anything to brag on councils so take an opportunity LOL
Maybe a survey done on few local groups to see/ show how many pple would be interested in really nappy, providing council would chip in? just few ideas. Nothing will change unless you will help it happen! Wink
